Morning Flicker




I liked the Purple Flowers....up and out early, before the Sun reached Two Top Pine Meadow...quiet though....Hummingbird or Kinglet at the Broken Cottonwood...missed pic...Woodpecker in the Aspens thereabout...couldn't locate....Brown Creeper....badly back lit by the sunrise...and it was hot...at six thirty!...some tropical clouds came in from the Gulf, I learn on the news tonight...which explains the humidity...crossed the Meadow...thought I heard Blue Jays scolding at Rocky Slope...paddled along with some lookbacks and listens at Rocky Point...but quiet...two Flickers chasing about high in the Ponderosas at Lower Falls...too high for pics..just sat and watched...picked up...and along the Path..right at the Crosswalk...Flicker landed...mercifully!...on one of the split rail fence posts...continuous pics!...showed them off to Edie at Breakfast cashier line...saw Edie again at Dinner at work, and heard about her heat stroke episode...think I was having a bit of one my ownself!...didn't drink enough fluids....none at all on the morning walk...will take some water with next time...after Breakfast, went back to the Cabin and slept until worktime...sunny hot blue...weather report says one o one in the Valley tomorrow....
